A monthly column of names in the news. The Rev. Richard C. Halverson, a pas tor of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, has been invited to hold prayer, Bible study and evan gelistic meetings in Korea during the month of October. The invitation came from the National Christian Council of Korea, representing 5 thousand churches of Presbyterian, Methodist and Holiness groups. Ac companying Halverson will be Bob Pierce of World Vision. Halverson will spend the first week in Korea meet ing with 1,500 pastors for intensive Bible study and prayer in prepar ation for the evangelistic meetings. Everett S. Graffam, administrative as sistant to the president of the Provi- dence-Barrington Bible College of Rhode Island, has resigned to accept the appointment as president of Buf falo Bible Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. In Portsmouth, Va. this summer Evangelist Hyman Appelman was draw ing nightly crowds of 3 thousand. An interesting side-light of the cam paign was a head-on clash with au thorities in nearby Norfolk over a beer-drinking Mardi Gras. The reviv al committee attempted to block the Mardi Gras by requesting that the Norfolk city manager permit a street meeting to be held on Main Street at the same time. Due to these con flicting requests, both groups were denied roping-off privileges. A Mardi Gras spokesman offered to rent a bur lesque theater for the revival meet ings. The offer was politely refused. The outcome: no street meetings; no Mardi Gras. Winona Lake (Indiana) Christian Assembly has a new executive di rector. He is Robert J. Hughes of Buf falo, N.Y. and music editor of Sing- spiration, Inc. Hughes, 38, succeeds the late Arthur W. McKee. New Orleans will be the next city in the Billy Graham evangelistic cru sade. Meetings are scheduled to last four weeks starting October 3 in Peli can Stadium. Crusade chairman is Dr. J. D. Grey, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Graham’s headquar ters has announced that during No vember the team will appear in Portland, Ore. (Nov. 20,21), Seattle (Nov. 23, 24), San Francisco (Nov. 27) and Sacramento (Nov. 28). At the same time plans are also under way for a return to Great Britain next Spring for meetings in Glasgow.
